Westfield Southgate gets new name

The Australia-based Westfield late last month rebranded its property at U.S. 41 and Siesta Drive as Westfield Siesta Key. New signs are up at the shopping center and the company is sporting the new name on its website and social media pages.

The long-anticipated name change comes on the cusp of the indoor mall’s transition into a lifestyle and entertainment center. Naples Flatbread and Wine Bar, Metro Diner, Connors Steak and Seafood and a new concept from Bravo-Brio Restaurant Group are all slated to open at the mall in the coming months. Metro Diner already has its facade up and has set up a hiring center inside the mall.

The upscale shopping mall also welcomed LA Fitness to the old Dillard’s anchor in April and a Lucky’s Market is also under construction in that space. CineBistro, a luxury movie and dining concept, has been operating in the former Saks Fifth Avenue space since early 2016.
